MIehigan Lands RESTORED to Entry.

Commissioner Sparks has ordered the
restoration to entry of 1880 acres OF land
in the Red City, Mich, land district which
were selected in 1871 by the jackson, Ian
sing and Saginaw Railroad Company. The
commissioners In 1885 held that these lands
were excepted from the railroad grant by
dian reservation at date of grant, and that
by the subsequent extlpguishment OF the
lndian reservation the lands reverted TO
the public domain, anu did not inure TO
the railroad company. Secretary Lamar
affirmed this decision, and the present a..
iion opens the lands to settlement aul en-
try under the public land laws.

INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS.
Liability of Married Women as Traders
In the District.

III tno DlbtTlCCs
The court In general term yesterday
morning decided question of interest to
District merchants, In the opinion delivered
in the case of Hitchcock vs.. Richold.
Richold, married woman, conducted a
retail boot and shoe business In the city, and
purchased goods of the plaintiff, giving her
notes therefor. Suit was brought on the
notes and she pleaded coverture, anu that
the contract sued on had no relation to her
separate estate. The plaintiff maintained
that the goods sold her were for the purpose
of enabling her to keep up her stock in
business. Justice James, in delivering the
opinion Of the court, said that the case
depended upon the right Of married
woman to carry on business, and that the
married woman's act did not provide for an
acquisition by her of property in this man
ner; that the act made no changes In the
eommon-law method Of a married woman
acquiring property, and that the defendant
was not liable upon the notes. Messrs.
Edwards and Barnard appeared for plaintiff
and Leon Tobriner for the defendant.

Guiteau's Anathema.

Charles Reed, the lawyer who defended
the assassin of Garfield, and who, in various
ways within the past ten or fifteen years,
has attracted the attention of the public,
has, according to our dispatches yesterday,
been pronounced insane. This termination
of Reeds career affords some of the Wash
ington correspondents an opportunity to
again call attention to Guiteau's alleged
curse. They have something to say about
it whenever misfortune overtalses any one
who had anything to do with Guiteau's
trial.
IL is stated that Immediately after Guiteau
was sentenced he pronounced whitening
curse on every one connected with the
trial" Doubtless he said something show
ing his hatred of those who assisted in
prosecuting him, but it is doubtful if he had
any ill-feeling against those who defended
him But whether he had or not death and
misfortune have ovcrtaken great many of
those engaged in the trial They include
lawyers, witnesses and jurors. Death has
removed some of them and financial diff
cultics have impoverished others. There is
no doubt however, that if they had not
taken part in the trial they would have
been ovcrtaken by identically the same
misfortunes.
AS for Charles Reed, the outcome of his
career has been just what might have beenex-
pected- Twenty years ago he was one of
the most popular young men in Chicago
He was the public prosecutor, and was re-
gardcd as a very able one. In social and
religious circles he was prominent. His
office paid him 900 year, and he was
twice elected He was defeated for third
term because it was discovered that he was
not honest. Charges were brought against
him of very grave character, and he failed
to show that they were without foundation
His career in Chicago had about come
to a close when he volunteered to
act as Guiteau's counsel. The part he played
in that trial did not increase his reputation
as a lawyer. He subsequently went to New
York, but failed to get a foothold there. He
went down hill steadily until he was with
out q nickel, and then he attempted TO take
his life His friends, if he has any, will
either have to take care of him or put him
in an insane asylum. The unfortunate end
ing of his career is not in any way connec-
ted with Guiteau's alleged curse 1t is the
logical outcome of a dishonest and mis-
directed life.
